My mother recently scanned and emailed me this picture:
http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/ascii/junkyard/misc/The_artist_in_action.jpg
It shows me playing with a typewriter. What is so shocking is that the
picture is obviously taken before I learned to read and write (several
of the details in the room prove this, e.g. the organ in the foreground,
which was sold long before I started school). Since I can't have been
writing an essay the only possible conclusion must be that I was using
the typewriter to create typewriter art, an artform closely related to
ascii art.
I think I must have been 4-5 years old when the picture was taken. Can
anybody beat this?

Can >anybody beat this? Probably not-- but my dad used to take me to work with him on some Saturday morns-- I would play with the secretaries' typewriters. I couldn't type and really could spell many words-- I think I was about 7 or 8 then.. I do remember making text pictures.. I would also connect all of the paper clips together too! -joan -- ____ .-" +' "-. /.'.'A_'*`.\ |:.*'/\-\.
